LYNWOOD, Calif. — MANY monsters and ghosts haunt the dreams of Latino children. There is “La Llorona,” who is said to moan for her dead children. And more recently, the Chupacabra, which sucks the blood from farm animals and maybe a boy or a girl if he or she doesn’t behave.
Now we can add a new boogeyman to the repertoire of scary Latino bedtime stories.
His name is The Donald.
Ever since he began his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination with a vicious screed against Mexican immigrants, Donald J. Trump has become a figure of dread and comic-book meanness to the Latino community. He’s a villain in a flaccid pompadour, spewing threats and insults that have filtered down into the bosom of many a Latino family, to be heard by children gathered by the television set or at the dinner table.
In Lynwood, a working-class and mostly Latino suburb of Los Angeles, it isn’t hard to find children who have heard of El Señor Trump.
Hugo, a 7-year-old not much taller than a New York City fireplug, is the son of Mexican immigrants. Too young to understand what Mr. Trump meant when he called immigrants from Mexico “rapists,” Hugo boiled The Donald’s message down to three words: “Mexicans are ugly.”
It made young Hugo “sad” to hear someone call his parents ugly, he said. And if he could meet Mr. Trump, he’d tell him, “Bad luck for you.”
When Mr. Trump takes to a stage and declares Mexican immigrants to be murderers, his rhetorical daggers strike at the collective Latino psyche. We’re offended, we’re wounded and we’re angry.

Boy, that’s persuasive. I’ll have to vote for Rubio or Jeb-bio. /S
The NYT is stooping to a new low with this dreck.
They are frightened because scum like you make a point to frighten them, Hector.
Why did their parents decide to come to this racist hell-hole of a country in the first place?
I’m surprised the NYT doesn’t put one of their crack reporters on that question.
The New York Slimes.
My, how they have degraded into cesspool journalism.
Bonnie and Clyde ran and hid and were afraid of being found out for their crimes and arrested too..
They cost double to educate at over 15k each.
They usually don't graduate if a test is required to do so.
We need to take care of our own house first and send them home to take care of or rebuild their own country or houses.
We need to ban social assistance to anyone but citizens and if residents of any kind can't support themselves they need to go home and we for heaven's sake should not take on seniors for the purpose of putting them on social security when we have our own problems.
Because their parents are law breakers...???
He is the son of Mexican immigrants the article says. Would that be legal or illegal. If legal, then they are what are called Americans. So, son, if your parents are legal you have no need to fear.
And yet Trump leads among Hispanics
Oh yea. Visit any pre-school. That’s all they talk about:
El Boogie Gringo Trumpo!
Mexicans, bless their hearts, are some of the most gullible people in the world. That is why the leftist love them. It is easy to make them believe that Trump and all Republicans are chupacabras.
Donald Trump . . . the Mexican “Bugger Man”
That is the way my Grandmother Z pronounced it. . . . LOL!
The Slimes motto: We never lose an opportunity to sink to new lows.
And the winner is “ Steely tom”........
Congrats, for your reward if you are unmarried that is, you may select a exotic beautiful Latina woman from South America to be your wife with a guarantee from us she will be legal.
I haven’t laughed so much since the death of Little Nell.
I love how we’re second class citizens in our country.
And when we complain, we’re the ones out of line.
Oh well - if we didn’t like it, we wouldn’t keep voting for it. LOL! :D
Well that convinced me! Guess I’ll vote for Yebbie now! /sarc!!!
MANY monsters and ghosts haunt the dreams of Latino children. There is “La Llorona,”......
Looks to me like "The Donald" has given them a real reason para llorar!
